Campfire

In the shot above the kids were baking bread-on-a stick. I usually buy some of that biscuit dough in a cardboard tube – the kind that pops open when you bang it, or twist it, or peel off some of its outer cover. One biscuit slice gets wrapped thinly around a stick, and then it’s roasted over a fire. I love making it, and so do the kids.

After they were all in bed, I set the camera up on a tripod and tried to get an “art” shot of the dying fire.

I only took one shot. The camera was actually in the fire pit, and I didn’t want to mess around with it in there for too long.

I do like camp fires, and I don’t recall having ever met a kid who didn’t like them either. By the time they’ve been in Pathfinders for a couple of years, most of them can light one even in rainy weather.
